Member-only story
What happens when you drop the knowledge?
‘To learn anything, it takes 10.000 hours.’
‘There are only two human motivations: anger or fear.’
‘Addiction is for life.’
‘People are either introverts or extraverts.’
‘What goes around, comes around.’
‘It takes 66 days to change a habit.’
There are thousands and thousands and thousands of these ideas, these quotes, these rules, these, well, urban myths.
And every time I talk to a person it becomes clear how much we believe them and rely on them and take them as gospel.
But with all of these things, literally ALL of them, we don’t really know.
We don’t.
And we can’t.
(And we don’t even have to.)
Are anger and fear really the only motivations?
Do we ALL have traumas?
Are we either left-brain people or right-brain people?
Is it absolutely necessary to experience the dark night of the soul?
I call bullshit on everything.
All of it.
Why?
